I was headed somewhere on one of the county roads I traverse frequently when an old Kink's song came on the, admittedly, 'oldies' radio station. As 'All Day And All Of The Night', cranked up at the first few notes, came blasting through, I was reminded of how long it has been since I heard one of their tunes. They're not exactly on high rotation.
But the Kinks, one of my faves in their day, were a great band, played some great rock and roll. Once home, the song still in my head, I searched the web for several more.
So fasten your seat belts folks while we take a little trip in the Way Back machine.
I suspect you're going to get a lot of hits to your post just from the title. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the Kinks.. my favourite though is this one.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9tVlwycepg
It's so fun to listen to these songs again after so long. A bunch of the new wave/punkers must have listened carefully to this music. They sound like the Ramones, played slightly more slowly. Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteHilary - how fun. An island sound for your favorite. Very versatile!
ReplyDeleteI had almost completely forgotten how fab these songs were....thanks for the blast. I love it when the title gets ya.....and sometimes the stuff from ellen's head is well..............perfection.

ellen i really enjoyed flying backwards in time and then out of time when i followed the thread of music that emerged from listening to these tracks. steven
ReplyDeleteOh yes, much fun "gettin' kinky" here! Brings back some wild dancing memories.
ReplyDeleteLove, love the Kinks. ;)
Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever pimp my blogs - but in this case: http://frankiesjukebox.blogspot.com/2011/03/ray-dave-their-kinky-crew.html
You have excellent taste in music. ;)
Never thought I would say this to a women...but I just got kinky with you!
ReplyDeleteI ran for my grandson who plays, and they weren't a new band to him. Glad he appreciates the good music!
girl..i want to be with you all of the time!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!
I will take the "oldies" channel any day! And I will sing & sing all of the time...
OMG! I'm afraid to listen to the last tape as it is bed time and "You Really Got Me" will keep me rockin' for hours!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems You Really Go Me (and my Piano Man) too. I wanted to listen to the last song because I haven't listened to it in while, so I put my headphones on--I thought--and the the "Girl you really got me..." that blasted out of my computer nearly gave my sleeping Piano Man a heart attack. The look on his face was priceless!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I loved the Kinks! They were my fav band of all time...next to Blood Sweat and Tears!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the songs you chose were definitely on my "play all the time" list!! Ha!!
So cool!
